Day 326/365 (June 8, 2015)

Day began with work where i stayed longer than planned because I was delaying going home. Then on my way home I was tapped on my back and discovered it was by Sasha's friend David Singletary. We had a lovely chat for a bit, so that was a pleasant surprise. Then I went to the evil cookie place where i went out of control! I got my new favorite strawberry rhubarb and was torn between getting other favorites blueberry cobbler or chocolate covered pretzel... well they had blueberry cobbler in the day old treats bin (package of 2) so i got them and one of the fresh other two cookies. I didn't mean to eat all 4 but i did.

Then when i went home it is a good thing Karen ended up not going to work today because I left my keys in a different bag and was locked out! My replacement phone case came in the mail so i did the water test which worked and put my phone in the case. It is so much better than the other one which is weird because there are only two slight differences but they make a huge impact!

Also decided I am going to Attitash with the roommates at the end of the month which should be fun!

Charlie had some fun with a leaf nd Fred is just adorable/pitiful.

Day 153/365 (December 17, 2014)

Got up to rush Pippin because I hadn't seen it in a while, saw the matinee. After rush I went to work, then saw Pippin, then home where I met up with Matt (B.) and we watched a bit of The Spidey Boys DVD I had made since he missed the concert. Then I made my way to Laura's birthday party with Karen and we both locked ourselves out of the apartment... luckily Sasha had her keys!

After seeing the matinee of Pippin and thinking ahead to my schedule I realized I needed to go see Pippin in DC so I bought a bus ticket for Sunday!

Fred and Charlie were trying to get in my bag!

Day 117/365 (November 11, 2014)

We got up and left so early, we made good time and there wasn't much traffic. Checked into our hotel that was not the qulaity we were expecting and we were the only guests that night.

Then we went out to get some food and found this cute cafe... I had the best meatball sub of my life. As we were leaving and throwing our stuff out i told Karen "oh look someone got the hot chocolate flight" and then we left... we had just gotten to our car and I saw an Alton Brown tweet where he showed a picture of him WITH THE HOT CHOCOLATE FLIGHT from that place, we had missed him by moments and I was crushed... I looked terrible so probably for the best!

Then we went back to the hotel to rest and clean up before going to the meet and greet/show. I freaking met Alton Brown after years of LOVING him... my heart was soaring! He was so nice and as he was signing my badge he said that way there I could get at least $3 for it on eBay and i was like oh no it is worth much more than that I have loved you for years and he was like oh im not worthy of that and i was all yes you are!

The seat we had was up close and awesome. his show was so freaking funny, i was in stitches. he did a Q and A and had told people to tweet pictures with selfies and mine popped up first and when he saw it he was like oh you are sitting right over here aren't you and came to me... then he told me that i looked much nicer in person than my selfie but thanks for listening to his how to take a selfie tip... LOL!

The day would have been perfect except after the show we got dinner since we were starving and by the time we got back to our hotel we were LOCKED OUT!

We spnt over an hour freezing and needing to go to the bathroom trying to break open the door, and swipe our keys fruitlessly, and banging on the doors, and calling the front desk to no avail. the phone would ring, then switch to the portable we could see in its cradle. Finally we felt we had no choice and gave up and went to the hotel that was close by. The guy who was working there was beyond friendly and helpful and gave us a discount. The hotel was so nice, so so nice! wish we had been there from the start so thank you Hampton Inn and Suites, I will be a repeat customer thanks to you and Casey!
